Abstract
Storage enclosures for photographic prints and negatives are available in a variety of materials and formats. One must decide between buffered or non-buffered paper, paper or plastic, polyester and other plastics, sleeves or envelopes. Choosing the proper enclosure requires a knowledge of the alternatives. This handout reviews the various options, discussing advantages, disadvantages, and special precautions for each. Whatever enclosure is chosen, avoid handling photographic prints and negatives with bare hands. Oils and perspiration can damage emulsions. Lint-free gloves are available from conservation or photographic suppliers.
